Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) announced
that he will host the annual Congressional Art Competition Forum &
Exhibit for the 28th District, featuring high school students’ artwork
from the 28th Congressional District, on Sunday, April 26, 2015. The
Congressional Art Competition receives submissions from all across
the country. The winner from each Congressional District has their
work displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year.
In addition, for the last few years, Rep. Schiff hosts a “People’s
Choice” award, which will be decided through an online vote. To
vote for the “People’s Choice,” constituents should go to Rep. Schiff’s
website under Art Competition. Voting will be open through
Wednesday, April 22, 2015.
“Every year, I am amazed at the talent and creativity displayed in
the art I receive from high school students across our community.
Students, their families, and constituents from across our community
will be able to weigh in, just like the panel of judges, and pick the
‘People’s Choice’ winner online,” said Schiff. “I look forward to
seeing all the entries and welcoming artists and their families at the
exhibition. Go to my website and vote—I’m excited to see who my
constituents pick as a winner.”
The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 to provide the
opportunity for Members of Congress to encourage and recognize
the artistic talents of their young constituents. Since then, hundreds
of thousands of high school students have participated in the
nationwide competition.
The first place winner’s artwork will hang in the U.S. Capitol for one
year, the piece awarded second place will hang in the Congressman’s
Washington, D.C. Office for one year, the piece awarded third
place will hang in his Burbank District Office for one year and the
“People’s Choice” winner’s artwork will be displayed in Rep. Schiff’s
Hollywood District Office.
The winners of the contest will be announced at the 28th
Congressional High School Art Competition Forum & Exhibit
on Sunday, April 26, 2015. All student participants will receive a
Congressional Certificate of Recognition. The exhibit will be held
at Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge at Van de Kamp Hall
located at 1418 Descanso Drive, La Cañada Flintridge, CA 91011.
Parking and admission to Van de Kamp Hall are free. Exhibit viewing
will begin at 3:00 pm and the Forum and Awards Presentation will
take place at 5:00 pm. Light refreshments will be served.
To RSVP, please contact Teresa Lamb Simpson in Rep. Schiff’s
Burbank District Office at (818) 450-2900 or (323) 315-5555.

THE REEL DEAL: by Ben Show
FURIOUS 7 REVIEW
Having not seen any of the previous ‘Fast and Furious’, I had no idea what
to expect from this movie. This franchise has a massive fan base, and I
had heard from many people that this was the best film yet, so I had high
hopes for it; however, I was worried that my lack of knowledge of the
franchise would not enable me to enjoy the film, and so I went into the
theater with high hopes but slightly doubtful.
Having taken down Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), Dom (Vin Diesel)
and his team have attracted the unwanted attention of Shaw’s older
brother, Deckard (Jason Statham). They have also got the attention of the
mysterious Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) who will give them the tools they
need if they get him the powerful hacker known as Ramsey (Nathalie
Emmanuel).
‘Furious 7’ is an exceptional action film simply because you do not
have to have seen any of the previous films to not only understand what is
going on but also feel for the characters. The story is very slick and well-
refined for an action film, with no extraneous action sequences and the
clunky, cliché dialogue cut back to a minimum. The standout of this film
is the cinematography, which is extremely revolutionary. The camera
angles and shots that are chosen make the film flow beautifully. ‘Furious
7’ is an exciting yet highly emotional film that works as a perfect action
movie as well as a stunning tribute to the work of Paul Walker, who shines
in his role.
